6.0 oil questions
Got a question. I run a kdd stage 1 long block in my 06. I’ve ran nothing but schaeffers 15w40 since it’s been broken in. I’ve been wondering if anyone runs a 5w40 or 10w30 in this particular engine? Kdd recommends schaeffers 15w40, but is there a particular reason for it? I know several... -

06 ebp normal readings
Cruising on level ground at 75mph I get 33.5 psi, light acceleration 40-45, hard acceleration in 6th I get 47. These values are off the scangauge. -

06 ebp normal readings
Yeah. It may be a boost leak. The problem is only noticeable when towing. I had replaced the up pipes with the bd kit a few years back, so hopefully it’s not an exhaust leak. I dont hear anything, then again the truck is pretty loud so maybe it’s masking the sound. I’m going to try and make time... -

06 ebp normal readings
No cooler, and fuel pressure is always around 74psi, and dips to 62-63 psi on a hard run. I have an air dog 100, blue spring, and a healthy hfcm. I did the boost leak test about a year ago, and I’m sure it was done again at tsd 3-4 months ago when I had to get a set of studs and went ahead and... -

06 ebp normal readings
I didn’t have a chance to fool with the scan gauge and add pids, but did monitor data. Using the scangauge, measuring in psi, I get 50.5-53.2 on hard acceleration. The other values I get are pretty much spot on with the provided data from bismic. -

06 ebp normal readings
I actually hooked it up earlier. KOEO, 14.7. I completely forgot to check on it while I was driving. Oh well. Guess I’ll have to do it tomorrow. -

06 ebp normal readings
Have a question on ebp readings. I use a Sct livewire to read my ebp values. They are set to read in Kpa currently. At idle, on initial startup, it reads 430-440kpa. With an open vane at idle tune, it will go down to 340-360kpa. What is the normal range? I normally don’t monitor ebp, but it... -

7.3 fan clutch noise
I never really had a problem with the oem electric controlled clutch not doing its job. However, my truck always ran warmer with it. Originally, I ran the blue wire mod and had read about the 7.3 manual fan clutch. The benefits sounded good so i gave it a try. Years ago I had a manual Hayden...- Diesel625

7.3 fan clutch noise
It seems like it’s always engaged. Noise is very loud until I get into 6th gear. I know part of the noise if from the rpm’s rising through the gears, but it seems too loud. I may just order another Hayden fan clutch and compare. Although it’s noisy, it does a very good job.- Diesel625

7.3 fan clutch noise
how loud is the fan clutch upgrade supposed to actually be? I’ve had it for a few years, but I can’t remember how loud it was when I originally installed it. I hadn’t used the truck for a while due to bad head gaskets. It holds the ect to 198-202F all day, even in 105F south Texas weather. To...- Diesel625

What tires does everyone run on their F-450s?
The only true mt tires I’ve seen for 19.5s are remolds by treadwright. They’re similar to the Goodyear mtr. I’ve ran them on one of my duramax trucks years ago with no issues.- Diesel625

Icon or Carli
I like using icon springs and trac bars. All the brackets I use are always Pmf. Plain reservoir fox shocks work good enough for what I do.- Diesel625

Heavy haul tire question
I run Toyo rts in 305/55r20 on my dually. They’re the 12plys, usually have them at 80psi. Never an issue. I rarely use my bumper pull. If I do it’s 12-13k. I load it really heavy with my 40ft gooseneck. A 2000lb welding skid, and 24-26k worth of trailer and materials. I get great tread life and...- Diesel625

Degas cap pukes coolant sometimes
Not yet. The shop my truck is at is pretty busy right now, and had moved locations so it’s being delayed. I’m actually calling to get an update tomorrow.- Diesel625

2008 Dually 35"
A 35 will fit with a leveling kit without any issues. The rears will work with a 2-3” spacer, depending on width. Some 12.50s run narrow, others are wider. I had 35x12.50r17 Toyo mts on my 06 with a 2.5” icon spring, and 2” rear spacers. Never had any rubbing. I later upgraded to the icon 4.5”...- Diesel625
